Brewers Recap of First Three Weeks of 2012 Season

We are three weeks into the new Brewers season, and I thought that I would check the current stats.  Let's see if anything pops out at us, shall we?  The Brewers are one game under .500, and have the day off.  They are on the road for a while, and I would like to use this "quiet time" to reflect. 

Who has the hot bat right now?  Carlos Gomez.  Gomez is batting .371 right now.  His at bats number 35, but you still have to say that he's seeing the ball very well.  Corey Hart has been playing well for the past three games.  During the series against Houston, he had five hits, and five RBI's.  His batting average jumped 36 points in three days.  He hit a home run in each of the past two games.  Good job Mr. Hart!

Matt Gamel is swinging the bat well.  His batting average is currently .281, with nine runs on the books.  All eyes have been on the first baseman, as we look to see if he can fill Fielder's shoes.  With just one single home run on the books, we have to say that he's more of a "get on base" guy, when compared to Prince. 

Finally, Ryan Braun is putting up fair numbers.  He's hit four home runs, and is batting .275.  He had a pretty nasty flu bug last week, but got five hits of Houston's pitchers.  He hit a pair of home runs during the series, and scored four RBI's.  Braun has just one stolen base so far this season.  The Brewers need Braun to keep up the pace, and peform.  They hit the road tomorrow, and play at St. Louis.  Brewers fans will have to wait until May 7th before the team comes home to Miller Park. 

Milwaukee Brewers Tickets for April Games

If you put aside the Milwaukee Brewers Opening Day game, the demand for Brewers tickets in April is a bit low. We have a great team to watch in 2012, but there are so many home games to choose from, that many fans skip the first month of action. For me, it's one of the best times to go, as the ticket prices are very reasonable. Everyone makes a big effort to go to the opener, but rarely do they come back again in the same month. I'm not saying that there aren't die hard fans that go all year, I'm just saying that price for the games right after the opener are usually the lowest all season.

The Brewers started their home games against the St. Louis Cardinals. The first series also began over the Easter weekend. Many folks had the weekend off, and it showed at the ballpark. The Saturday game on April 7, had a solid attendance, one thing that you normally don't see. As for now, the team is at Chicago. The Brewers head back home on April 17. They play at Atlanta this weekend, and have off on April 16. One of the best opportunity for a Brewers bargain would be on 4/19, when the team plays at 1:10pm. It's a weekday opportunity to have some fun at Miller Park.

Brewers 2012 Standings

As it stands right now, the Brewers are just one game behind the Cardinals in the NL Central. Should the team win the upcoming series, they stand a chance at grabbing first place. The Cardinals go up against the Cubs, and one would guess that Chicago is feeling the pressure to win.
